While Apple iOS users have been enjoying Microsoft Office for quite some time, the Android version of the Office suite has been limited to preview program users. As of today, Microsoft Office for Android for tablets is available to all users.

The list of software includes Android tablet versions of Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Although these are free for download, which will allow users to log in with their Microsoft account, create, edit and print files, some advanced features will be limited to Office 365 subscribers. Microsoft needed the preview program in order to get its Office apps to support a vast choice of devices.

Microsoft Office apps have been available for both iPad and iPhone as of last year and, according to Microsoft, have seen more than 80 million downloads.

While it did officially launch Office for Android tablets, or precisely, pulled it from its preview state, it still does not have support for Intel SoCs, which should be coming "within a quarter" or essentially later this year.

Microsoft is already working on the new Office 2016 for desktop which will also include a universal app for smartphones and small tablets that will come with Windows 10, so this new Android version of Office might not last long.

In addition to the new Office for Android tablet, Microsoft also unveiled the new Outlook app for both iOS and Android devices.

A zero-day vulnerability, which was discovered that exploits a Microsoft graphics component using malicious Word documents, appears to be attacking Indian and Pakistan targets.

FireEye’s Research team has analysed this zero-day exploit and found a connection between these attacks and earlier attacks in India and Pakistan. Information obtained from a command-and-control server (CnC) used in recent attacks indicateds that the Hangover group, believed to operate from India, has compromised 78 computers, 47 percent of those in Pakistan.

FireEye has also found that another group also has access to this exploit and is using it to deliver the Citadel Trojan malware. This group, which we call the Arx group, may have had access to the exploit before the Hangover group did. Information obtained from CnCs operated by the Ark group revealed that 619 targets have been compromised. The majority of the targets are in India (63 percent) and Pakistan (19 percent).

This seems to indicate that use of this zero-day exploit is more widespread than previously believed and two different groups are using this exploit: Hangover and Ark. Hangover has been previously connected with a targeted malware campaign, and the Ark group is operating a Citadel-based botnet for organised crime.
